Sail With Me (Demo) __FULL__
"Sail On, Sailor" (mislabeled "Sail On Sailor" on original pressings) is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1973 album Holland. It was written primarily by Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson with Ray Kennedy, Tandyn Almer, and Jack Rieley. The lead singer on the song is Blondie Chaplin, making this one of the band's few well-known songs not sung by Mike Love, Brian Wilson, or Carl Wilson. The song was released as a single in 1973, backed with "Only with You", and peaked at number 79 on the American singles charts. A 1975 reissue (also backed with "Only with You") charted higher, at number 49.
Sail With Me (Demo)
The entire group [had been] working on a record for delivery to the Warner Brothers label. Mo Ostin held great expectations for that record and suggested that my working with Brian again might goad him to similar creative heights we had reached in Smile. Mo was astonished that Brian wasn't participating in the album, and feeling somewhat deceived, thought I should step forward, as I was in large part the reason for their commitment to the group.[4]
Parks credited himself as the primary composer of "Sail On, Sailor", saying, "I went over to Brian's with my new [tape recorder] and told him the name of the tune and sang those intervals, and he pumped out the rest of that song."[5] In 2002, Wilson said of the song: "Van Dyke really inspired this one. We worked on it originally; then, the other collaborators contributed some different lyrics. By the time the Beach Boys recorded it, the lyrics were all over the place. But I love how this song rocks."[6]
There exists a fifteen-minute cassette recording of Parks and Wilson writing the song on Wilson's piano.[7] According to Parks, "it's clear from the contents [of the tape] that I authored the words and the musical intervals to 'Sail on Sailor.' It's also clear that I composed the bridge, played them, and taught them to Brian."[8] Biographer Timothy White quoted an anonymous source's description of the tape's contents, "Brian was playing that song on the piano. It was completely different words. He's singing different words; much better words."[7] One of the discarded lyrical passages in the song was "Fill your sails with fortitude / and ride her stormy waves / You've got to sail on, sail on, sailor".[9]
Parks later said, "That was a tough moment for both Brian and me. I just went over to see how he was, and he wasn't good. Of course, you couldn't tell that from this song, because it represents such hope, but it came out of a very difficult time."[5] He remembered, "It was a rare visit. In a five-day rush at that house, I came out with one song."[3] Asked in 1976 about his remarks from the tape, Wilson responded, "I was serious. I used to think I was insane. I'm a lot saner since I've had my doctor."[11]
Parks said that he subsequently "put the tape away, and lay low", as he had "wanted to avoid getting involved with the internecine group dilemmas once again."[4] As of 2006, Parks did not know the whereabouts of the tape, having given it to Warner Bros. in 1972.[9] A four-minute edit of the tape was later released in 2022, on Sail On Sailor - 1972.
Biographer Peter Ames Carlin stated that the song was essentially co-written by Wilson and Parks in 1971, with Kennedy and Almer's lyrical contributions dating from impromptu sessions at Three Dog Night singer Danny Hutton's house during the period.[9][nb 1] Wilson said in a 2007 interview:
We went in and cut the basic tracks with Three Dog Night; we hadn't slept in about a week. Then Brian got up with a razor blade and cut the tapes and said, "Only Ray Kennedy or Van Dyke Parks can do this song." And he left. We all stood there looking at each other going, "What?" He called me every day after that, and I wouldn't talk to him. Three or four years later, I heard it on the radio and went, "Who's that?"[15]
After discussion among Warner executives, Parks said that he had the aforementioned tape of "Sail On, Sailor", and suggested that the song could be recorded as the album's lead track.[5][20] The label then enjoined the Beach Boys to drop what the company perceived as the weakest track ("We Got Love") and replace it with the song.[8][21] By Rieley's account,
Ironically, when Mo Ostin and David Berson told the group they wanted to put "Sail on Sailor" on the Holland album and release it as a single, it became impossible for them to get Brian into the studio. When Brian finally got around to working, he started his usual procrastination, tinkering with the song, trying to make it perfect, as he had with "Good Vibrations" and Smile. Finally, the rest of the group did not allow Brian into the studio to work on it at all.[18]
The Beach Boys ultimately recorded the song at Village Recorders on November 28, 1972, with production by Carl Wilson.[17] Brian remembered being "grossly incompetent" with the song and that he had failed to show up to the sessions.[12] Ricky Fataar said, "I remember Carl called Brian to say 'Is this the right chord?' and 'What kind of a groove is it?' Brian was at home on the telephone telling us what to do with the song. He came up with this idea that Carl should play a part that was sort of like an SOS, Morse code signal ... 'Dd-dd-dd dd-dd-dd', and Carl went out and played that and it was just right."[17]
"Sail On, Sailor" was released as the lead single from Holland in February 1973, backed with "Only with You", and peaked at number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100.[22] On March 10, 1975, it was reissued (also backed with "Only with You") and charted higher, at number 49.[23]
In the UK, "Sail On, Sailor" was issued as a single in June 1975 and failed to chart.[22] Pet Sounds lyricist Tony Asher, despite expressing distaste for much of the band's work after ceasing his collaboration with Brian Wilson, praised the song as "just dandy".[24]

Coming with Linux support sometime in 2021, they've released a fresh demo build to go along with the IndieX event and it will be live for you to play until Sunday, November 15. This new and improved demo which was previously showed off during one of the big Steam events has "a lot of general gameplay changes and improvements, as well as new encounters, boats" and more.
This is quite possibly one of the most charming sailing games I've ever played. It gives off a somewhat FTL feel to it, with you travelling between points and dealing with random events and a little exploration. There's a lot to love about Sail Forth and it works perfectly on Linux even though this is still an early work in progress demo.
Even during the combat, which is a little tricky when dealing with speed and directional movement with all boats doing a little dance to get the best angle it's not particularly taxing on your mind and surprisingly calming overall. I can easily see myself spending hours travelling through it.
Some really neat ideas included too like the ship customization system. You need to go fishing to catch fish of different colours, to then trade them at a particular station who will make a new colour dye for you to customize with. You can also take pictures throughout the game, and have the customization crafters make some sort of icon out of your picture for you - it's real sweet.
